Paradis Books & Bread, a book café located in North Miami, has closed down following a controversial decision to ask Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell to leave the establishment due to his conservative political beliefs.
Gianno Caldwell recounted the event during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, expressing his disbelief and disappointment over being ostracized for his political stance. Caldwell explained, “I never thought I would make international news for being a Florida man kicked out of a restaurant because of my conservative values.” He detailed how the conversation turned uncomfortable when the café’s owner directly asked him to leave, stating that their political views did not align.

Hahahahaha 😆😆😆
Yeah...I finished reading their “statement”...what a bunch of whiney bs...
Not even good riddance...just riddance.
They decided they only needed part of the population to support them so that’s all they got. They got right-sized as a result.
Whiney b*tches...too bad, so sad.
the butt hurt, it burns...
Remember the wisdom of Michael Jordan, republicans buy sneakers too.
With all the restaurants in Miami, these whiners will be forgotten by tomorrow.
Perfect on both. Love it.
He is one of the contributors I miss since I cut the cable cord.
They were ceaselessly harrassed? Hmmm. I just would stop going there. What really happened?
Thanks!! 👍👍👍
And the irony is, if anyone thinks FOX is conservative, they have oatmeal for brains. That means this place was beyond stupid.
More than just a Republican, Gianno is a BLACK Republican. The Ds are most enraged by that combination.
Hannity left NewYork and moved to Florida, so commie book hawker was avoiding him in advance
